Nintendo rolls out lime green DS bundle just in time for Mother's Day

Talk about things you never knew you didn't want! If Mom hadn't much use for a Nintendo DS Lite before, do you think that throwing in some cooking software is gonna change her mind? Neither do we. That said, if you're really stuck for a Mother's Day present (or just want one you can play Nintendogs on), this bad boy hits the shops May 3rd. You are now free to go back to reading Garfield Minus Garfield and counting down the minutes 'til Happy Hour.

I think that colour is ugly... but that's just me :P.

[Platinum_Skeet @ Apr 24th 2009 4:19PM]

Why release a new DS when the DSi is out?

[ZaxCG2 @ Apr 24th 2009 4:37PM]

Because they're probably just feeding on the lower-price crowd who just want to get their mom a quick gift. And honestly- would your mom really care if it were a DSi, let alone know the difference?

BTW, Nintendo, thanks for being a butthurt and teasing us with new colors THAT AREN'T DSi's.

[Joseph @ Apr 24th 2009 5:30PM]

damn the less than sign.
(less than 1 year old) baby boy.

mom now equals grandma and 60+ years old.

So yes, my wife would digg this.

[Poo_and_Wee @ Apr 24th 2009 3:56PM]

But mother's day was ages ago....

[zomg0t @ Apr 24th 2009 3:59PM]

Yeah, it was about 11 months ago. Come on, Engadget!

[stephenhill_Dfc @ Apr 24th 2009 4:03PM]

Oh...so Americans celebrate Mothers Day in May....well you learn something new everyday!

[Duke @ Apr 24th 2009 4:40PM]

celebrate? Lets not get crazy with things!

Anywho, the color isn't so bad when you consider I have to use my wife's pink DS right now.

[Jon Graft @ Apr 24th 2009 3:55PM]

GAY. Get a PSP.

[FTY @ Apr 25th 2009 9:10AM]

And use it as an expensive door-stop, as there are no games you haven't already played on the PS2.

[mugupo @ Apr 24th 2009 3:59PM]

Nintendo need to stop coming out tech that is decade old.

[jordanr05 @ Apr 25th 2009 10:49PM]

Yeah Nintendo just doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to handhelds....oh wait.

[mikepegg @ Apr 24th 2009 4:00PM]

Well isn't that just loverly.

[Jay Voorhees @ Apr 24th 2009 4:00PM]

"But mom! I got you that DS so you could learn how to cook me something better than Kraft Mac and Cheese! Not to play Chinatown Wars!!!"

[Felipe @ Apr 24th 2009 4:05PM]

yea, same thing here. i think its a good/bad idea. good because, its a DS. simple enough for her to use. bad because you are telling your mom she doesnt know how to cook and are now giving a big hint in showing her she needs to learn.

[Ryudeshi @ Apr 24th 2009 4:03PM]

Wow.. a cooking game bundle for mothers day =D Nintendo knows whats up.

[Tempered Reason @ Apr 24th 2009 4:04PM]

My mom would actually LOVE this.

[Good_Bytes @ Apr 24th 2009 4:11PM]

Yes, with a game that says to her that she doesn't know how to cook. Nice....

[AMiSH PiRATE @ Apr 24th 2009 10:54PM]

Do you have to be a mom to love this? Because I'm a 20-something non-parent dude and I'm kinda interested.

[htd @ Apr 24th 2009 4:09PM]

how come they still roll out new color for DS? shouldn't they focus on DSi now? the color is suitable for earth day... maybe they will create some pick up trash game with same color bundle...

[tofudeliveryae86 @ Apr 24th 2009 4:34PM]

plus 1 for captain planet bundle

[Jinx @ Apr 24th 2009 4:18PM]

Are they trying to say mothers belong in the kitchen? lol

[Gipionocheiyort @ Apr 24th 2009 4:20PM]

I had never heard of it so I Googled it....Garfield Minus Garfield is friggin brilliant.

[Warrenis @ Apr 24th 2009 4:33PM]

I googled it because you googled it. I may skip happy hr for this

[tojfs7931 @ Apr 24th 2009 4:26PM]

[matt @ Apr 24th 2009 4:32PM]

OKAY!!

[Jason Boehle @ Apr 24th 2009 5:08PM]

I hope if you get this for your mother, she smacks you for getting her such an ugly gift. That is a godawful color.

[Ed @ Apr 24th 2009 5:32PM]

wat

[digitallysick @ Apr 24th 2009 5:42PM]

Perfect gift for your girlfriend/wife hahaha!

[versionII @ Apr 24th 2009 5:58PM]

Yeah...get mom a "how to cook" game..

that'll work out well

[Megan @ Apr 24th 2009 10:56PM]

My mom could actually use that game. And she admits it. She's not a chef. Her idea of supper is baked chicken and instant potatoes.

And the color is perfect, green, reminds of spring and reminds us (in the northeast anyways) that winter is almost gone.

[Marc @ Apr 24th 2009 10:58PM]

Bad idea. Get her some flowers, works every time!

[maddevills @ Apr 24th 2009 11:22PM]

f all that, i'm getting that bundle for myself...color is too fresh,..imma have to give away the other things though, just keeping the ds

[Jonathan @ Apr 25th 2009 1:50AM]

That color is gorgeous but I have 2 DS Lites and if I'm buying another, it's gonna be a DSi.

[NinjaLlama @ Apr 25th 2009 7:45AM]

Hey, my mom is 54 and loves her DS lite. She's rockin' the red one right now, but if this was a lime green DSi, then I'd buy her the new one for Mother's day. Bummer, but nice effort Nintendo.

[Mason @ Apr 27th 2009 7:09PM]

aare we using DS systems as a fashion statement or as a game system ?_?;

[susy @ Apr 27th 2009 10:04PM]

both

[SamanthaSue @ Jun 17th 2009 5:14PM]

When I saw these at the back at Hastings where I work I thought they were such a cute pack. I saw green DS's last summer in England, so that's nothing new, but I've always loved the DS case that this comes with. They have them in more neutral colors at Best Buy. If I didn't already the game is something I wouldn't use. Would've been cooler to throw in Gardening Mama and market it seasonally or jump on the Go Green bullshit train.

I think it's good that they're keeping things fresh with new colors. Sucks for those of us that got the white ones when they came out, but I think it's nice if you're going to spend 100+ on electronics to have the option to get a color that's fits your taste. I'd love to see a purple one come out, but I guess I'll just have to stick to the purple stickers I've got on mine...
